I think I'll change to shorter skis, they come up to my nose so may be too long for me. Then I think I'll spend a couple of hours on the lower slopes practising my technique.

Tino, there's not a lot of boarders here and one guy in the chalet who brought his own board has reverted back to skis, something to do with the pisting :?:

No more cage, no more rage, cos I've turned me a brand new page, much better
I'm free to be me and as far as I can see it's much better.

..... pah one must be able to ride on anything, I have yet been to a place that is unsuitable for snowboards, okay some places take a lot more concentration and speed to get through flats etc, but you just go faster )

Speaking anecdotally (sp???)

In Austria as a ski/snowboard instructor you wage will be about 1000 Euro a month, maybe pay 75-100 towards accomodation, lunch is paid by clients as are a few apres ski cheekies. The rest is up to you. No tax unless you are anal.

Sounds great to me.

That's not what I thnk the "H" stands for.

Brilliant opening line to a song, and one I know only too well.
Maybe we should start all posts, you and I, from now on with the opening line from a suitable Stone Roses song.
Nice touch.

Well the Stone Roses were special, but I plan to start all my posts with whatever I happen to be listening to at the time, good or bad ) As I am sitting in the T4 Hilton, on a shared computer and wondering if I should have another beer, all I can here is a waterfall and I am not sure how to spell the sound I am hearing.

When your heart is black and broken, and you need a helping hand. When you're so much in love, you don't know just how much you can stand.

I think I'm gonna start all my posts like this from now on ;)

Sounds trying Caron, but all good things are I suppose. Stick at it and you'll get to where you want to be. The more I read about that place the more I am tempted to go :)

on the helmet thing I have noticed the same this season, I got bored counting in Grindrlwald, I think I got to 3 helmetless souls in one morning, including me!!

Enjoy the rest of it :)
